I Got Messy!

I was inspired last night after looking at Anthea's blog at THIS post and decided I would give the 'alpha background' a go..but it wasn't as easy or nice as I had hoped....I think it would work better with spray paint to get into those gaps nicer. I painted cream paint on first then sprayed over it with glimmer mist.I would like to try this again using a different technique at some stage....can you actaully get acid free spray paint??

Here is the alpha's placed on the kraft card before I started painting...great for all those chipboard alphas you can't make words out of!!

and the finished layout...

I used the Cosmo Cricket 'Girl Friday' range.
